Linksafe now supports multiple iname purchases in a single transaction. Look for the "Bulk" link under the Registration tab.

Customers purchasing more than one iname in a bulk transaction may choose whether to create "All New Authorities", "One New Authority and the Rest Synonyms" or (if authenticated to an account with a Persona in the same top level registry) "All Synonyms" of the existing Authority.

A long standing request to enable Persona account split and merge has been release under the Transfers area. Now when two Personas exist within the same account they can be split into separate accounts. This will make gifting a Persona a simple process. A Persona Transfer via email is in the works.

Linksafe announces the new Remote Ibroker plugin for Ruby on Rails applications. Iname holders may deploy the plugin to their RoR site and register *names (delegated inames) for their users. The Remote Ibroker plugin has been deployed to http://freeid.net/ and @freeid*names are now available to all.

There's a new application in the Linksafe code repostory under rails/relying_party. This application currently demonstrates using Information Cards for access control in a demo rails application. I intend to maintain it as a resource for organizations looking for a relying party and as a collection of relying party authentication processes.

Linksafe has released a new form and top level navigation tab enabling iname transfer requests. The process to tranfer inames from one ibroker to another is initiated at the receiving ibroker. The Linksafe ibroker is now ready to receive requests via the UI.

I've just finished polishing Linksafe's own theme plugin and with that have launched the SourceForge repository into production on http://linksafe.name and http://iname1.cim3.net.

Linksafe has been a production ibroker since the offical iname launch date of June 20, 2006 but only now is the code easily available for use and review on SourceForge.
